The role of emotional intelligence in leadership and how to develop it

In our article on emotional intelligence, we explained what it is and showed you why EI is a great skill to have a great career. But in your workplace, the person who leads by example is the boss, so in this article, we’ll show you why IE is the skill you need to be a good leader.The role of emotional intelligence in leadership and how to develop it

It doesn’t matter if you are a boss or aspire to be one. It’s never too late to develop IE.

Reminder, what is emotional intelligence?

Emotional intelligence gets defined as the ability to understand and control our emotions. In working relationships, emotional intelligence is crucial, as it allows you to create a career and work experience built on understanding and professionalism.

Technical skills and intelligence alone are no longer enough to be good at work and even more so to be a good leader.

The four components of emotional intelligence in a leader:

Awareness: For IE, awareness is its foundation. By this, we must understand that emotional intelligence rises above understanding and reading our feelings. Only a minor percentage of people and leaders are truly aware. A leader who lacks self-awareness causes increased stress levels and lack of motivation, leading to unproductive work and an unproductive team.

To bring out the best in others, you must bring out the best in yourself.

Self-control: Controlling your emotions makes you a better leader. Leaders who lack this ability fall prey to feelings and impulses. In other words, they are not good leaders.

Awareness helps you as a leader not to convey a reaction but a response. By evaluating the employee and the issue, you manage to translate the reaction caused by the feeling of the moment into an answer not influenced by instinct.

Social awareness: Understanding your feelings is only half of being a good leader, as you must be able to read the feelings of others. By practicing empathy, the skill you need in this case, you can better communicate and collaborate. Empathy is the number one skill that makes a leader; providing support to the people who work with you.
Managing relationships: Managing relationships means influencing people at work. After you understand your impact on them, you can guide, direct and resolve conflict.

Pareto analysis
Affinity diagrams

These techniques help you to structure the information and direct your focus to the roots of the problem.

Importance of IE for leaders:

Emotional intelligence helps you understand your impact on the people you work with. As we said at the beginning of this article, a good leader leads by example, meaning that a great leader invests in emotional intelligence, not only in himself but in the work environment. Emotional intelligence helps you make better decisions under pressure, recognize the feelings of others, and understand their emotional states.

How can you make it your own and develop it?

One way to develop emotional intelligence is to do the 360-degree assessment, where after collecting the impressions of colleagues, you can point out your strengths and weaknesses.

Emotional intelligence gets achieved by first cultivating it in yourself through assessments. You can then use this practice of reflection to understand the interpersonal skills of the people you are looking to hire.

Creating a professional network

The term “professional network” is not infrequently encountered in the medium of professional development. If you are interested in developing professionally then you should definitely invest in your professional networking, which is actually more straightforward than you think.Creating a professional network

What is professional networking?

Professional networking is meeting new people who share your profession, industry, or interest. Exchanging ideas and information with them gives the complete picture of networking.

Professional networking occurs in formal settings and should not be confused with computer networking. An office meeting, a dedicated event, or an email request to meet with a professional. In all cases, networking is only about meeting new people and professionals helping each other develop their careers.

Why it is significant:

New knowledge and ideas

Networking helps a lot in sharing ideas and knowledge. It also exposes you to them. From here can arise meaningful exchanges and valuable conversations about your approach to how you work and what you do.

Employment opportunities

Share the new job position at the company you work for and that’s how networking does its job, bringing a new employee and friend to your workplace.

Advice and support

Sharing, you give and take. Advice and support from a colleague become an important part of the job. Even when you help out, there’s a good chance you’ll learn something along the way.

Some tips on how to build your professional network:

Although it may sound scary and unpleasant, it doesn’t have to be.

Dedicate time to your networking

During your day, set a schedule that you will dedicate to this activity.

Help colleagues

It’s not just about you, it’s about how you grow with others around you.

Choose quality over quantity

Don’t fall prey to the desire to have many contacts, keep old contacts and evaluate very carefully the opportunities for new acquaintances.

Expand on social networks

Make yourself visible and others will remember you.

Remember that networking is a journey

Professional networking takes time, be patient and everything will come as a natural progression.

Emotional Intelligence: “beat your own game” at work

The human mind remains the unmatched instrument to reach success in life. In the professional world, it has become the philosopher’s stone in our quest to understand success. We have come up with answers that have not always helped to explore the brilliant career path. Beat your own game at work

We see intelligence as a key feature in work and even though we have created systems to measure it, studies show that our intelligence quotient (IQ) explains only about 20% of our success in life. They also show other factors that complete the rebus.

Among these other factors, emotional intelligence it’s not well-known and ironically very important. In this article, we’ll create a fuller picture of emotional intelligence and we’ll try to explain how you can develop it and why serves a great deal to have an excellent career. Beat your own game at work

What is emotional intelligence?

To not make it too complicated, we can start by explaining that our mind works based on two different ways. In other words, we can say we have two minds, one to think and one to feel. We are built with emotions, which are strong impulses that make us take action without thinking or overthinking.

Problems arise when our emotions get the best of us and we don’t get to express them in the best way. Our brain is constructed from bottom to top (or from inside out). The medium part, the limbic system, is responsible for our existential emotions. This part of our brain also allows us to learn and remember, giving us the chance to adapt to new environments. Keep that in mind!

Our emotional reactions and why we can’t change them can be explained by the fact that our “mind to feel” develops ahead of the neocortex (the part of the brain responsible for thinking and perceiving).

Emotional intelligence it’s our way to answer differently to the primal instinct. So, EI it’s the ability to understand and control our emotions.

How do EI and a successful career link together?

Emotional intelligence it’s key to a great career. It develops important and healthy work behaviors:

Nonverbal communication
Self-awareness of our emotions
Optimizing efficiency
Career development
Encouraging others to develop interpersonal skills.

These behaviors come as a result of the five EI components in the workplace, first studied by the psychologist David Goleman, whose very well-known bestselling book “Emotional Intelligence”, we recommend you read.

The five EI components in the workplace:

Self-awareness: helps us understand our feelings. This helps us understand better how our emotions are perceived by others, giving us a clearer panorama of how our colleagues may see us.
Self-regulation: helps with controlling and adapting our emotions. By creating a new approach, we keep a professional appearance.
Motivation: the urge and desire to achieve something help with self-fulfilled emotions.
Empathy: knowing and understanding others’ emotions helps us handle work situations better.
Social skills: helps with communicating and interacting with others. Very important to develop your career!

How to develop emotional intelligence:

There are various ways to develop emotional intelligence. We have summed up some of the best and most commonly recommended ways:

Journal: at the end of each work day write about how your day was, and how was work, it doesn’t matter if the results are positive or not. By writing everything down you can track behavior patterns.
Do the 360-degree assessment: you can do this by getting feedback from the people you work with and reflecting on yourself. This way you can perceive more easily your strong features, and those not so strong.
Practice active hearing: hear carefully what other people say, be part of the conversation, only like this you can form strong relations.
Pay attention to your emotions: make an effort to understand what you feel and why you are feeling it. This is the only way, for you to later understand others.

BONUS: If you want to understand and practice emotional intelligence more, enroll in an online course or training.
